Retreat Planning and Facilitation

Productive, Energetic, Engaged Retreats

There’s hardly anything more important than setting time aside to get everyone together on the same page. Beingin agreement as to direction and focus for your community is a high priority for any leadership team and is critical for ongoing success. Holding a leadership team retreat to debate ideas, prioritize activities and set strategy is an important part of running a vibrant City or County.

InnerComm is actively involved in the entire process, so you, as the leader of the organization, can fully participate.

Retreat Planning: We meet with you before the retreat to outline goals, gain agreement upfront on agendas and take the pulse of the Council, Commission or Administrative team before the retreat so we get a sense for what the team’s main interests are.

Retreat Facilitation: We then facilitate the entire retreat. We want the City or County Manager to be able to fully participate and not worry about facilitating. We do the work to draw out what team believes is vital for the community for the next 2-5 years. We use creative and team-oriented tools to help get the best out of everyone and build a sense of unity at the same time.

Retreat Documentation: We provide you with a written summary of all the decisions and goals that come from the retreat, so you have a clear sense of what’s next and what was agreed to.

If you are planning a retreat in the next few months for staff or elected officials, we’d like to talk about how we can help you get the most from your retreat efforts.

If you don’t have a strategic plan for your community, we can then help you take the input from the retreat and create a strategic plan to help guide key activities and focus for the next 3-5 years. Call is at 678-833-4310 or email at bstark@innercomm.net to take the next steps.
